QwtAbstractSlider and QwtAbstractScale for the descriptions of the inherited members.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum QwtSlider::BGSTYLE Background style.

See also:

QwtSlider()

enum QwtSlider::ScalePos Scale position. QwtSlider tries to enforce valid combinations of its orientation and scale position

  • Qt::Horizonal combines with NoScale, TopScale and BottomScale
  • Qt::Vertical combines with NoScale, LeftScale and RightScale

See also:

QwtSlider()

enum QwtAbstractSlider::ScrollMode [inherited] Scroll mode

See also:

getScrollMode()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QwtSlider::QwtSlider (QWidget *parent, Qt::Orientationorientation = Qt::Horizontal, ScalePosscalePos = NoScale, BGSTYLEbgStyle = BgTrough) [explicit]

Constructor. Parameters:

parent parent widget
orientation Orientation of the slider. Can be Qt::Horizontal or Qt::Vertical. Defaults to Qt::Horizontal.
scalePos Position of the scale. Defaults to QwtSlider::NoScale.
bgStyle Background style. QwtSlider::BgTrough draws the slider button in a trough, QwtSlider::BgSlot draws a slot underneath the button. An or-combination of both may also be used. The default is QwtSlider::BgTrough.

QwtSlider enforces valid combinations of its orientation and scale position. If the combination is invalid, the scale position will be set to NoScale. Valid combinations are:

  • Qt::Horizonal with NoScale, TopScale, or BottomScale;
  • Qt::Vertical with NoScale, LeftScale, or RightScale.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setMass (doubleval) [virtual, inherited]

Set the slider's mass for flywheel effect. If the slider's mass is greater then 0, it will continue to move after the mouse button has been released. Its speed decreases with time at a rate depending on the slider's mass. A large mass means that it will continue to move for a long time.

Derived widgets may overload this function to make it public.

Parameters:

val New mass in kg

See also:

mass()

Reimplemented in QwtWheel.

void QwtSlider::setOrientation (Qt::Orientationo) [virtual]

Set the orientation. Parameters:

o Orientation. Allowed values are Qt::Horizontal and Qt::Vertical.

If the new orientation and the old scale position are an invalid combination, the scale position will be set to QwtSlider::NoScale.

See also:

QwtAbstractSlider::orientation()

Reimplemented from QwtAbstractSlider.

void QwtDoubleRange::setPeriodic (booltf) [inherited]

Make the range periodic. When the range is periodic, the value will be set to a point inside the interval such that

point = value + n * width .fi


if the user tries to set a new value which is outside the range. If the range is nonperiodic (the default), values outside the range will be clipped.

Parameters:
  tf true for a periodic range

void QwtAbstractSlider::setPosition (const QPoint &p) [protected, virtual, inherited] Move the slider to a specified point, adjust the value and emit signals if necessary.

void QwtDoubleRange::setRange (doublevmin, doublevmax, doublevstep = 0.0, intpageSize = 1) [inherited]

Specify range and step size. Parameters:

vmin lower boundary of the interval
vmax higher boundary of the interval
vstep step width
pageSize page size in steps

Warning:
  • A change of the range changes the value if it lies outside the new range. The current value will *not* be adjusted to the new step raster.
  • vmax < vmin is allowed.
  • If the step size is left out or set to zero, it will be set to 1/100 of the interval length.
  • If the step size has an absurd value, it will be corrected to a better one.

void QwtAbstractSlider::setReadOnly (boolreadOnly) [virtual, slot, inherited] En/Disable read only mode

In read only mode the slider can't be controlled by mouse or keyboard.

Parameters:

readOnly Enables in case of true

void QwtAbstractScale::setScaleEngine (QwtScaleEngine *scaleEngine) [inherited]

Set a scale engine. The scale engine is responsible for calculating the scale division, and in case of auto scaling how to align the scale.

scaleEngine has to be created with new and will be deleted in ~QwtAbstractScale or the next call of setScaleEngine.

void QwtSlider::setScalePosition (ScalePoss)

Change the scale position (and slider orientation). Parameters:
